Skipping the long story as to where I am in my life right now, I am looking for advice on where to go from here. Long story short, I majored at a well known very good engineering s…

Absolutely. Are you serious? Do you not learn anything from literature?

That isn't really the point, though, is it?

I have the same notions about such cases. Can anyone think of child prodigies that went on to do notable things? (not including the unabomber)

How is this relevant?

Not really sure how this made it on my HN frontpage. This is an oft-touted point of 'proof' for anti-vaccine folk. It's also, pretty flawed: https://lizditz.typepad.com/i_speak_of_…

Well, to be fair, and we're on course to veer right off topic -- a large majority of gun deaths are suicides.

Do you believe that bitcoin is useful as an actual currency? As far as I can tell, its only use is to buy drugs and other illegal things online.

Can I ask -- What was your line of thinking that led you to find this out? I'm the kind of guy who could probably figure out how to do this if it was, like, given to me as a task. …

Are they squandering it by making such claims? How many people do you really think are going to read their claims, then read that their claims are not fully backed up, and then dec…

I'm really confused by a lot of what you said, but I agree with some of it. When you say that these appeals to reason and logic are generally to protect the right from our left-goi…

How do you find such an experienced therapist? What do you mean by "all our problems are basically psychological or spiritual"? Why do we have to slog through crackpottery for insi…

Are they only available in Japan?

> virtualization isn't magical security juice you can sprinkle over stuff. In fact it increases your attack surface in a lot of ways. Any thoughts about qubes OS?

I want to move 13 times in 20 years. What jobs in the military let me do that?

I am not surprised at all. When they switched to this percent system, it was clear from then that they want to ensure that there's no chance you'll be turned away from watching som…

I guess I'm not really talking about it from a business-centric perspective, but rather one of progress. This is where I feel the next step in mobile computing lies, given these ad…

Can someone explain to me why this matters? It feels like CPU advancements in recent memory have brought nothing at all. It used to be, in the early days of smartphones, every gene…

Well, to tell you the truth, I pulled that out of my ass. I have no idea if the Homepod is selling well. I am basing this on the fact that Apple allows employees a 50% discount, so…
